With ihis ifsuc TIIK TRIBUNE enter
upon the fifth year of its existence. Ou
policy will be maintained. We have n
new line of action to map out. No new
song to sing. Our position is already
clearly defined. We believe the past fc
be-the best guarantee of the future
Hence we have no excuses to make u
promises to frame , other than the assur
ance that THE TRIBUNE will ever be in
the van of improvemenfcwith the growth
and prosperity of our city and country
A GREAT many of the ablest news
papers of the Republican Valley are
pressing the name of Hon. Gr. L. Law&
of McCookas , a republican candidate fo
Secretary of State. Mr. Laws is a
strong man , not only in himself , but in
his constituency , and probably no man
in the Republican Valley would prove a
more available candidate. Hasting
Gazette-Journal.
' Tins valley has two aspirants in the repub
lican ranks for the nomination for secretary
of state Zedikerof Franklin , and Mr. Laws ,
of lied Willow. With but one candidate ir
the southwest the place would be conceded I
this section of the state. Bloomiugton Guard
The valley should have but one can
didate , Mr. Zediker's candidacy is onl
a laughing stock in the state at large
and in the valley he can only muste
strength enough to defeat another candi
date from this section. This game h
has been playing for several years
When he wasn't a candidate which is
very seldom he has boomed some
weak man for office to the detriment o
some one who might have been recog
nkcd. It is time this scheme of hii
was "sat upon , " and if we mistake noi
it will be this fall in a way that will be
permanent. We have known Mr. Laws
for twenty-five years and he never lived
in a community but what he enjoyed
the utmost confidence and esteem of the
entire members thereof , while on the
other hand , Mr. Zediker is a regular
jack-in-the-box , popping up for a noun
nation at every election. He has not
seen the time in ten years that he could
get a nomination in his own county ,
neither has he had an honest suppor
of his county for any of the outside po
sitions he has sought , and Franklin
county should not allow him to thwar
the wishes of the entire valley any
longer. Hardy Herald.
DOOT DO IT.
Don't spend your time to read this
unless you really wish to KNOW whicl
is the best Wind Mill.
WAYNE , Du Page Co. , 111. , I
February 4th , 18S5. )
CHAI/LEXGE WIXD MILL AXD FEED
MILL Co. , BA.TAVIA , ILL. :
GENTLEMEN. You ask me how
like the Doubled Headed 22foot Wind
Mill I bought of you in 1883 , and also
your other machinery.
First , in regard to the Wind Mill : I
consider it the very best made , or I
would not have bought it at any price ,
and I have had no occasion to change
my opinion , thus far. When I bought
the first Challenge Wind Mill , in 1869 ,
for pumping water , I soon found it su
perior to the kind I had been using , and
since that time I have bought three or
four Mill of your makeand , placed them
on my different farms , and they always
gave , and do yet , the best of satisfac
tion. But before buying a Geared Wind
Mill , for grinding and shelling , as well
as pumping water , for my large lot of
imported Percheron horses , I thorough
ly investigated as to the merits of the
various makes of Wind Mills , and al
though I found others that could tell a
better story than you did in regard to
their mills , yet I found their mills in
actual operation , in comparison with
yours , were nowhere , and actually found
your mills doing very much more work
than you claimed for them. This , in
connection with your strong printed
warranty in catalogue , and knowing
you to be responsible for its fullfillment
to the letter , decided me to place my
order with you , and I must say that I
am dissatisfied dissatisfied with my
self that I had not got one years ago.
At the time I put your Mill up I was
paying about three hundred dollars per
month to get my grinding done , and ]
certainly saved enough in six months to
pay for the cost'of the mill.
The power in it is simply immense ,
and does seem almost incredible. It
runs two large double-acting pumps ,
six inch diameter cylinders , twelve inch
stroke. Also one of your No. 1 Ware
house Grinders , which I have timed at
one bushel per minute. I also have ,
one of your small No. 1 Medium Grind
ers , which will grind thirty bushels per
hour. In a good wind I run both
Grinders and the Pumps at the same
time. M. W. DUNHAM.
FARM LOANS.

Trust Co. on deeded land , or on final re

without sending east for funds. No in
terest is payable in advance but ten

as abstract can be obtained. OfSce in

S. W. HUDDLESTOX , McCooK , Sr.u.
DEAII Sns : I have delayed until this morn
ing in order to get a better opinion than my
own upon the question that you submit. I
leant that there has been a deqision of the
Supreme Court recently , practically reversing
a former decision and which in principle ap
plies to your case , while the court is in some
doubt as to the expediency of such measureSj
it holds that on strictly technical grounds ,
such donations are possible. The case refer
red to is one where a certain amount was
required from saloon men under the guise of
an occupation tax. The court held that the
lax was lawful. The money was devoted to
other than school uses. The gentleman with
whom I talked says that it would hardly be
proper for the Court to go behind the record
of the Village Board and admit evidence to
overthrow the record , lie however advises
that in the future you do not follow the same
practice but that you fix the license at 51,000
and let the money go where the law says it
must and then by a less stretch of conscience
and technicalities , the District Board can
borrow from this fund ( teachers ) and use the
money. The time of repayment is immater
ial. My own view coincides with this. All
agree that the donation of a certain amount
for another use is only an evasion of the law.
And should the matter be taken into Court ,
there is reasonable doubt sis to whether the
act of the Village Board would be sustained.
Since it has been so , however , I would not
advise any one to undertake to have the mat
ter changed by appealing to the Court.
Sincerely Yours ,
W. W. W. JOXES.
